Jarrett Jack suffered a torn right meniscus and will be out 4-6 weeks.

That will basically end his season. Jack tweeted out he was frustrated earlier today, and now we know why. This is the same knee that needed an ACL repair in 2016, so he has a tough rehab on his hands. Mar 3 - 8:01 PM

Jarrett Jack (knee) returned from a one-game absence with eight minutes, one assist and one steal against the Pistons on Wednesday.

He's likely going to have his minutes managed and will have to split the backup duties with Tim Frazier. Leave Jack on the wire. Mar 1 - 11:25 PM

Jarrett Jack (knee) is available to play against the Pistons on Wednesday.

He did play 25 minutes in his debut, but E'Twaun Moore was not active for that game. Jack is going to have to battle Tim Frazier for the backup PG minutes, but Frazier's bum wrist could be a reason for Jack to play tonight. He's not a fantasy option right now. Mar 1 - 6:43 PM

Knee issues have kept Pondexter off the floor for the past two seasons, and as recently as June 8, Pelicans GM Dell Demps said that Pondexter's status for the 2017-18 season is still "a little uncertain." He's owed roughly $3.8 million next year in what will be the final year of his contract, so if the Pelicans are able to move him, he would likely go to a team seeking to free up cap space for free agency in 2018. Pondexter is firmly off the radar in fantasy hoops.

Anthony Davis said that Cheick Diallo impressed him at the Summer League.

Diallo was a man among boys in Vegas, averaging 18.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks on 56.2 percent shooting. "He shot the ball well and did some moves [he’s added]," Davis said. "Cheick likes to work. He’s a hard worker and it showed in summer league." Davis and DeMarcus Cousins obviously aren't the most durable players, so fantasy owners should be ready to give Diallo a look this season if one or both of the star bigs pick up an injury.

Omer Asik (illness) will not play for Turkey at Eurobasket this summer.

Asik has been battling a gastrointestinal infection since February and the report adds that he's still getting treatment. There's no known timetable for his return, but at this point it's time to consider him questionable for the start of training camp in September. He's not a lock to be in the rotation next season and the Pelicans will obviously be shopping his awful contract.
